The original Samsung Gravity T was a midrange phone with 3G capability billed as a great device for “Connected Socializers.” Well the next generation Gravity phone for T-Mobile is about to see a big bump with the addition of Android. The “First Android device for the Gravity brand that is optimized for texting” will include a 3.2″ screen with full slide out keyboard, 3 megapixel camera and runs Android 2.2. The Gravity Touch 2 or GT2 will be a perfect addition to T-Mobile’s midrange Android lineup. Running on an 800 MHz processor the GT2 is going to find a home as an “ideal device for smartphone intenders.” Arriving on June 8th the GT2 will inevitably be overshadowed by another T-Mobile arrival that day but with two distinct audiences the GT2 is a welcome addition.

Nobody is releasing gingerbread phones. Nexus S was the only one that had it from the start.

That’s not true…do some research please.

Thank you

Nogb

really? name one then.

Xperia Play, HTC Desire S, and SGS2.

Plus the Sensation, Evo 3D, and HTC Lead are all coming soon with Gingerbread so again, I get confused when mid to high end phones are announced with Froyo. Saying that nobody is releasing phones with gingerbread is false as I’ve pointed out with the phones above. I would however like to know how oem’s and carriers decide on which version of Android get’s release with newer phones.

Looks like a prepaid mobile that you buy in clear packaging at the grocery store or 7-11.

Not everyone can afford a super phone. This is a great addition for someone who wants a “Big Boy Phone” and cant afford to spend 500 bucks. Quit being such a snob. who wants a “Big Boy Phone” and cant afford to spend 500 bucks. Quit being such a snob.

Only a small base of customers even NEED a “big boy phone”. A lot just want to play some games, use the web, and use the phone as a phone. Not everyone docks the thing to run all their wifi off of or devs programs or roots the phone. Some people do just need…..a phone. Tmo has ALWAYS kept that in mind and thats why they have such a range (now finally) of phones from entry level to super phones.

in the next 3yrs every phone thats not ios, web os, wp7, or blackberry is going to be android from filp to slates

David whats that Dealer price? is that the Retail/Unit Only/No contract price? because if it is im gona return my Optimus T and wait for this puppy

This is a good idea. Its not all about the dual core phones with a 4.3″ qHD screen. Its a phone with an easy-to-use interface, average processor good enough for what users do with this phone, a flash, etc.

This is no great addition. When these devices come out, the G2 will be a last-gen device, buy one of those at the same price and you are ahead of the game. The addition of countless midrange devices just muddies the waters and serves to confuse those who don’t pay as much attention to the market.

Does anyone else find it hilarious that this has an led flash with a crap camera and the vibrant had none.

i just hope the 800mhz CPU isnt lower than an ARMv7 because my biuggest gripe with my Optimus T is no Flash 10.2

I brought the gravity t because of the touch screen and no web plan neeeded. But now that ive changed(may 2011) to the 3000 family plan and unlimited text and web at 149.00 plus 3 phones at 5 each to share 3000 talk and text.(thanks tmonews for telling me of new plans coming late may).I think id rather have the g2x or herc . anything else newer at 99 bucks or little bit above. radioshack online always have them cheaper than others.
